Hi Xia,
Yes, Dr Vincent Lee is my gynae. I'm in my first pregnancy. He is extremely nice & patient, takes the time to answer my questions & allays my anxieties. I feel very comfortable with him. My husband, who is the type who worries a lot, also finds him a good doctor.
Go ahead & see him. He was strongly recommended by my colleagues, as he took very good care of them during their pregnancies & deliveries.

meixue, my friend delivered her baby in Mt Alvernia Hospital. She told me he also goes to the other private hospitals like Thomson Medical Centre, & Mt Elizabeth Hospital.
Thanks for the reassurance, Shirley! I will call the clinic tomorrow, to make my appointment. I'm 5 weeks pregnant now & was told it's important to make sure it's not a pregnancy outside the womb

I just got home from Dr Vincent Lee's clinic in Mt E. I saw my baby on the scan.. just 4mm only! Dr Lee say I'm almost 6 weeks pregnant, & will be able to see the heart beating when I return there in 2 weeks' time. I'm so happy!
It was a very pleasant visit to the clinic. The doctor actually had time to explain the changes occurring in my body. My fussy husband was quite pleased too! I was given MC for today, & could call the clinic any time should I need to see Dr Lee before 2 weeks.

Meixue,
I went for 1st check-up at 6 weeks pregnancy, 8 weeks pregnancy & then at 12 weeks. At 13 weeks, I went back for a nuchal translucency scan & blood tests. Since then, it has been 4 weekly. But I did go back a few times because of cough & stomach upset, & paid for medicine only. I'm now at 30 weeks, & was given 2 weeks' appointment. The last month will be weekly visits.
Xia,
I'm glad you went for your check-up with Dr Lee

From 5 months onwards, pay $500 for unlimited consultation and scans is good. That's the pre-delivery package is it?
Does Dr Lee gives back to us the scans of the baby? FOC or need to pay? I'm asking cuz my friend's gynae gave her back all the scans FOC in a CD-ROM while another friend had to pay $10 per scanned pic. It'll be meaningful to keep the scans of the baby, right? =)

Hi meixue,
The $500 payment was made at 12 weeks, which is 3 months, not 5 months. It's ok, becoz some gynaes start their package at 16 weeks or 20 weeks. I heard of one in the Katong area who starts the package at 36 weeks! I think starting at 12 weeks would save quite a bit.
Yes, the scan pictures were given with no extra charge. He would give them when the pictures were interesting. They are printed out & mounted on cards, on which Dr Lee would draw the uterus & the fetus inside. The one confirming the baby's sex was very cute
When we asked, Dr Lee said he enjoyed drawing when he was in school, but prefers to be a doctor rather than take up art... Who wouldn't!

Hi shirley, does the $500 include vitamins?
Hi Fun, you mentioned that "$500 is onli a deposit at the beginning. after delivery will need to pay the remaining amount." How much is this remaining amount?
Typically, when MTBs mention that they take packages from gynaes, what do these packages include and how much?
I'm sorry for so many questions, because rather blur about the financial matters regarding pregnancy. hehe! thanks in advance!

Hello meixue,
Yes, Fun has already answered your question regarding the $500
. We are prescribed iron with multivits, as well as calcium, plus fish oil containing DHA (not cod liver oil, which silly me thought was the case!) DHA is good for the fetus brain & eye development. Folic acid was taken till about 20 weeks.
I did go down to the clinic a few extra times becoz of flu, diarrhoea, & just paid for medicine only.. GP rates $10 - $20. I usually go to Mt E on Saturday mornings, but if need to, I go to Bishan in the evenings.. Mon & Thurs. You just need to call the clinic, so that they will bring your notes over to the other side. But I noticed that they sometimes fax the notes over.
Fun prefers to be early at Bishan, whereas I prefer to go later, around 8.45pm. You see where you fit in
. Oh yes, Dr Lee is also in Bishan on Wed am.

I went for my check-up with Dr Lee already. Can only see the gestation sac as I'm only 5 weeks. Cant wait for my next visit so that can hear the baby's heartbeat and see the baby!
Hubby and I are both alright with him, so most likely we'll continue with Dr Lee.
I was prescribed Revicon (a multivitamin), that's all. How about the rest of you? When are calcium, iron, fish oils prescribed?

Hi meixue,
Looks like no one else here for a long time. If u dun know, we're supposed to go to the new server at www.singaporemotherhood.com, but they are having problems with it. We're all waiting for it to be corrected.
I had my 2nd check abt 3 weeks ago, & yes it was exciting becoz the baby's heart was active! I was almost 7 weeks then.
I was give Revicon too, plus Folic acid & some anti vomiting pill called Dimenhydrinate. Dun have calcium & the rest yet.
My next checkup is next week, & will be 11 weeks then
. Will definitely stick on with Dr Lee as we feel very comfortable with him. I think we'll choose Mt Alvernia for the delivery.

Hi Gals,
The new server is up & running!
I just had my appointment with Dr Lee last Friday. I'm almost 14 weeks already, & just begun my maternity package & had my blood/urine tests taken as well. In addition, I had a combined ultrasound & blood test for Down's Syndrome, called a nuchal translucency screen. The results will be out on Monday or Tuesday...
Any of you had this latest test done? My age is 28 years. Dr Lee says it has a 90% detection rate & since it's non-invasive, I think it's good to have some reassurance that baby will not have Down's. But if the test turns out to show a risk, I may need an amniocentesis. But I'd rather have a normal baby than one with abnormal chromosomes.

Hi Gals,
My NT screen shows a low risk! The clinic called yesterday to say it's > 1 in 15,000. I'm so relieved.
Dor, the antenatal package was $500. It means an unlimited number of visits & ultrasound scans till we go into labour. The delivery fee if normal is $900, vacuum or forceps is $1100, & Caesarean is $1500. You just got married?

Hi Dor,
Thanks! Call it intuition...Congrats to u too! Don't wait too long for the little one to come along. We tried immediately after we got married, got worried after 3 months, & so it was a big relief when we succeeded at 6 months
Dr Lee says we're likely to have a girl, & he shud be able to confirm it next month! It seems a boy would be easier to spot in the early stages, for obvious reasons! I've decided to deliver at Mt Alvernia Hospital.. had a look there & had good feedback from frens.

Hello Xia,
Nice to have met you this morning at MtE
. When the nurse called your name, I guessed it was you! Hope your cough gets better soon.
As you could see I'm at term, & due next week. Baby is getting heavier & I'm having a bit of backache. The antenatal CTG today showed baby to be healthy & kicking

Hi Shirley,
Glad to have met you too! You must be due any time now, or have you already delivered?
Wish you a safe & pleasant labour with epidural!
You're right, I was from China. But I've been studying in Singapore for JC as well as the NUS, & my hubby is Singaporean. So I'm very much a Singaporean now!

I've signed up the package with Dr Lee too. I'm 17 weeks pregnant now, but Dr Lee still cant tell the gender of the baby cuz baby wont cooperate.
What else can we expect from future visits? are we supposed to do a detailed scan? any additional expenditure?
If we're sick (flu, cough etc), can we just go to Dr Lee for consultation?

Hi everyone,
I've been soo bz the last 3 weeks looking after my little darling
I had him on 4 June, just 2 days short of the due date. The epidural was fantastic, stopping the pain almost immediately. When in the second stage, I felt some pressure below, but no pain. Dr Lee then came, & with the nurses, they told me when to push & when to relax. I'm so glad I managed to have a normal delivery!
Meixue, a detailed scan is done around 22 weeks. Additional ependiture would be for haemoglobin a month before due date, & an antenatal CTG about 1-2 weeks before the due date.. $40 I think.
Yes, if you don't feel well, just give a phone call to make sure Dr Lee is in, before going down to the clinic. They only charge for the medicine, which can be cheaper than going to the GP. If necessary, he will give you MC too.
